Make Me Blush - Look Beauty

I've wanted this blusher for ages now so on a recent shopping trip to Milton Keynes I stopped messing around and just bought it! The only reason it took me so long was because I couldn't decide on a shade, in the end I just chose a pretty pink and I love it! The Look Beauty range is exclusive to Superdrug and I'm in there looking at make-up all the time. I've never spent any time looking at the range before as I always walked past it but recently I decided to try something new. I've always been more into beauty on a budget because I can't justify spending ridiculous amounts on make up - as much as I'd like to! Right now, in Superdrug and on the Look Beauty website various products are half price, so for £4 I had to try this blusher finally!

I bought shade 3 Pinch, it comes in a cute baby pink box which is surprisingly difficult to open! The blusher box itself is silver and it has a small square mirror inside for use on the go.

 

 



I'm really happy with this product. I saw the tester in the shop so I knew it was a pink blusher with a shimmer, it really compliments my sand foundation as it gives me a subtle colour that's buildable so I can control how bright I want it to be. It gives me a natural looking glow that blends into my foundation without looking streaky and as if it had been plastered on, there is nothing worse than seeing somebody wearing too much blusher!

 

I adore this, I will definitely buy more when I run out even at the full price of £8, it's great value as well as great quality, which is exactly what you'd expect from Look. This blusher is going to last me so long as a little looks so much better than layering the product. I'm so impressed with this, I will definitely be trying more products from the range.

 

You can buy Make Me Blush on the Look Beauty website here and it's half price! You can also buy it in selected Superdrug stores.

Barry M Flawless Matte Finish Foundation review

I am really fussy when it comes to foundation. I've always struggled to find the right one because I have combination skin so foundation has always been a nightmare for me. My face gets really dry, especially at this time of year so finding a foundation that won't make dry skin noticeable whilst hiding my oily skin is really difficult. Seriously, nightmare! I was definitely debating whether to buy the product or not when I was in Superdrug, but for £5.99 I thought it wouldn't be the end of the world if it wasn't amazing, but it is! The foundation is so easy to blend so I can put on as much or as little as I like, I tend to need more coverage over my nose and forehead area so it's really great that I can have more foundation on those areas without looking caked in make-up. The fact that it is oil free is a blessing to my skin!

The packaging caught my eye straight away, it's really simple with neon pink writing. The pump makes it really easy not to waste the product and the bottle isn't too big so it fits perfectly into my make-up bag. I would definitely recommend this product because it's hydrating and it stays matte! I still put matte powder on over the top with some bronzer (the powder makes my face really pale), but it stays on all day so I don't have to touch up during my breaks. The foundation feels really light and it makes me feel really confident as I know my skin looks really clear.
You should definitely get down to Superdrug and get yourself a bottle of this foundation, it is available in 5 shades and right now when you spend £9 on Barry M products you get a Lash Vegas mascara for free (which is also amazing!)! I never thought to buy anything except nail paints from the Barry M range but I am definitely going to go back for more when I run out!
You can get it from Superdrug here and from Barry M here!
